    Fishers at 12 O'Clock Cap'n!

    Fisher's Restaurant has a revolving door, a pain for a wheelchair as they have to partially dismantle it to get me in or out! No chance of running off without paying the bill here!

    The restaurant is a very floorboards affair, representing planking, the ceiling decorated with sails & storm lamps, and above Dado height we see an all around mural of the sea. Not the best mural, it resembles the North Atlantic on a grey day for colour. The restaurant is such less a pleasure cruise than a working trip for crew.

    The food though, is something else. The menu changes daily & lists items that had me hard picked to choose. In the end I opted for the Cornish Flounder with potato cake & new potatoes & a bucket of bread & Butter on the side! Arrrr Shipmates! It was delicious! The buttery sauce helping the fish melt on my tongue! I chose a Fentiman's Ginger Beer to accompany (Fentimans is organically brewed), a strong ginger that grips the throat satisfyingly. I had eyed the fresh sardine starters beforehand, but as the decor did not resemble the coast of Portugal I declined! (Besides, there may have been no room for the flounder).

    Much as I enjoyed the dish I eyed longingly the Bouillabaise, Crevettes, Sea Bass & Mussles that passed by in the hands of the waiters, wishing I had more stomaches!

    A fine meal!

    Wheelchair friendly - even with a revolving door!

    There are so many! sob!

  • A very popular restaurant, with friendly staff and a good selection of seafood dishes. On the down side popular can mean busy.

  • The surroundings were great ,but unfortunately the mussels were off. Having eaten mussels all over the world, it was more than obvious. The owner ate a mussel off my plate, suggested they were delicious and that we didn't know what mussels should be like. They did not deal well with our complaint. If you want excellent mussels in Oxford, try the Cafe Rouge, or for any excellent seafood, try Loch Fyne.

    Fish and chips were fine.
